To the Fcitor Daily Eagle.
Knowing you to be man who loves JUS
tion of your people to this question.
After eating my dinner today saw all ap-
parently well dressed young man who at
tracted my attention. He told me he was
threatened with the lung fever and bad no
money. l went to the Woman's Home and
was met by most charitable looking lady.
who told ne they were doing every thing in
their power 10 relieve distres. But there
were from three to four more persons Apply
ing every day than they could accommodate;
that the people had made great promises of
assistance but were slow in help.
l found the commissioners received no one
unless they were here six months. The
young men Of the Christian Association came
to my aid and we provided for him.
Mr.. Editor this question should demand
your immediate attention. You will not
shrink from it. No issue Of your valuable
paper should be made unless you discuss this
question in some phase. Warm weather is
coming. You have men today worth thou
sands, who one year ago were poor.
just As worthy men who are poor are COM
ing to be ore of your people.
Shall they sicken aud die for want Of care!
What notler act can these men do who have
made their hundreds of thousands than to dc
something brand to relieve the poor sick who
come among you?
MIR Editor it is not because these men are
not charitable, but it is because they are
taken up with the rush OF business and for
get the demands of humanity
Keep the question agitated each day till
you have accomplished for the distressed
what you have done for the rich.

A WELLINGTON MAN
Reaches this City in Critical Con.
dintfon, and, it is Thought,
Will Not Recover.
He Refuses Information Concerning HI
Misfortune, but the Veil is Lifted By
aNeighbor-DomesticT Trouble.

Some days ago middle-aged gentleman
accompanied by 9-year-old girl, his daugh
ter, arI ived at the Valley House and regis
tered as J. R. johnson from Wellington
Bis face was seriously bruised in severa
places and he seemed to be suffering IRON
other injuries.
! AL inquiry leading to disclosure CT the
cause Of his injuries were at first answered
in a way giving DO infoi nation. He seemed
INV Hing to say anything OF his misfortune
AL the while he was downcast and showed
no Opposition to look at the cheerful side OF
life and seemed TO prefer only the company
of his daughter
The proprietor of the house was soon con
vipced that the gentleman was suffering
from both physical and men1al agony. DE
interested himself in trying to relieve Physi
cal pain and by making things as pleasant as
possible hoping to lead his guest from seem
ing dispasr. All labor was apparently lost.
Sufferings of mind and body seemed to in
crease, and Sunday evening two physicians
were summoned. The wounds had become
ipfaned and the man seemed to be suffering
intensely His case was found to be serious
one aid he has ever since been failing. Last
| night the doctors considered him almost be-
yond recovery.
Monday last he told some parties at the
motel that he was from Wellington. but his
name was Williams and not johnson as the
register showed. He stated that he had
started to California and had inten led to
join the excursion ihat leaves this
city today. On being asked
if he wss married man he re manned silent.
Monday evening one enquired again how he
received his injuries, 10 which he replied
after some hesitation, ''Oh, guess must
have fallen out of a wagon" The manner
in which he replied and the extent OF his In
juries caused all who heard him to doubt the
statement. On being asked if some one beat
b i'm be would not answer.
The little girl was interviewed on the sub
ject and stated that her name was Williams,
and they were from Wellington. She said
her father and mother could not always
agree; in fact there was usually domestic
war on hand. Being asked how her papa
was hurt she stated she did not know.
Yesterday gentleman from wellington
who claims to know Mr.. Williams quite well
was apprised of his friends condition. He
said be knew that there had been trouble in
that family, and that Mr.. Williams had left
home. He further stated that he had heard
of battle in the Williams residence in which
the wife was only an assistant. Her cause
was ably represented by lad who was in
the habit Of calling. The combined forces
proved too strong for the husband and hence
the injuries.
